RE: FTP actual delivery confirmation

["John McKee" <jmmckee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You really only need to look at the first digit.  I wrote several CL programs years ago to perform FTP to Windows and VMS.  The second digit was not consistent.  All I needed was to look for anything starting with a '5' to know if it failed or a '2' for success.  Disadvantage was that this happens after the session stops.  Didn't have FTPAPI back then.  Would have likely been a lot simpler with FTPAPI.
